IMPROVEM'ENT IN PLUMBERS' AND PAINTER' LAMP.

T0 ALL WHOM IT MAY GONCERN:

Be it known that I, GEORGE WANIE'of the city, county, and State of New York,` have inveuted a. new and improved Plumbers' and Painters' Lamp; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exaet description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to'make and use the same,,referenee being had to the aecompanying drawing, forming part of this specification. The drawing represents a sectional elevation of my improved lamp.`

This invention relates to a new lamp for creating a powerful flame, similar to that produced by means of the ordinary blow-pipe. Its object is to have aself-acting blow-pipe, and to produce a flatlne which can be used bypainters for burning old paint on doors, 8m., prior to applying the fresh paint.

The inventon consists in the use of a boiler containing alcohol, arranged above the flame of an alcohollamp and provided with a curvcd tube leading into the fln-me of the lamp. The heat of the lamp will vaporize the alcohol in the boiler, and the vapor of alcohol will be blown with great power through the flame of the lamp,vand will itself be ignited, thereby making a very long and power-ful flaine.l i

"A' represents a lamp, of suitable construction, fed with alcohol or other suitable burning-fluid. v'BV is a vessel of suitable Shape, made of Sheet metal. In the drawing it is represented lens-shaped, which I prefer. The vessel B is supported by a stand, C, of any suitable lconstruction, and so as to be'held above the lamp, as` shown. A curved tapering or other tube or pipe, D, exten'ds from `tho'vesel B to the flame of the lamp. This tube may, if desired, be provided with a stop-Cook, a, as shown by red lines in the drawing., Tho, vessel B is filled with alcohol or other suitable liquid, being provided with an opening, b, for the Purpose; said opening' being then closed by a suitable stopper or valve, c. The wiek of the lamp A being ignited, the alcohol in the vessel B is heated and is vaporized; the vapor escaping with'considerable force through the tube D, thus being blown into the flame, thereby extending the same and conoentrating it into one point. The vapor itself will also be ignited, and will thereby serve to make the flame still more powerful. The case or stand C, when made sb as to hold the lamp and the vessel B at the same time, and whenprovided with-a handle, d, will he very eonvenient, especially for painters, as thereby the flame can be directed and handled at will. The stop-cock a Vserves to at once cut oil` the supply of vapor, thereby giving stillmorecontrolovcr the flame.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentv 1. The lamp-essel B provided with a pipe, D, in combination with a lamp, A, and case, C,all arranged and Operating substantially asand for the Purpose specified.

2. I claim the lower stand O in which the lamp Ais placed, in combination with the upper stand G and vcssel B, constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose speeified.

3. An automatic blow-pipe, made to blow alcohol or other steam through the flame of a lamp, the steam being created by the same flame through which it is forced, substa'utially as herein shown and deseribed.
